'Us' in the Bible

which means, "God with us." When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife.

But Jesus answered him, "Let it be this way for now, because this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness."

Give us today our daily bread,

and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.

And never bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'

They went to him and woke him up. "Lord!" they cried, "Save us! We're going to die!"

Suddenly, they screamed, "What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before the proper time?"

So the demons began to plead with Jesus, saying, "If you drive us out, send us into that herd of pigs."

As Jesus was traveling on from there, two blind men followed him, shouting, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

"He told them, "An enemy did this!' "The servants asked him, "Do you want us to go and pull them out?'

Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and asked, "Explain to us the parable about the weeds in the field."

And his sisters are all with us, aren't they? So where did this man get all these things?"

Then Peter told him, "Explain to us this parable."

But he didn't answer her at all. Then his disciples came up and kept urging him, "Send her away, because she keeps on screaming as she follows us."

They asked him, "Why, then, did Moses order us "to give a certificate of divorce and divorce her'?"

They told him, "Because no one has hired us.' He told them, "You go into the vineyard as well.'

"These last fellows worked only one hour, but you paid them the same as us, and we've been working all day, enduring the scorching heat!'

When two blind men who were sitting by the roadside heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted, "Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!"

When the crowd told them harshly to be silent, they shouted even louder, "Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!"

They began discussing this among themselves: "If we say, "From heaven,' he will ask us, "Then why didn't you believe him?' But if we say, "From humans,' we are afraid of the crowd, because everyone regards John as a prophet."

So tell us what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his widow to his brother.

While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us, when will these things take place, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

"But the foolish ones told the wise, "Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out!'

"But the wise ones replied, "No! There will never be enough for us and for you. You'd better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.'

Later, the other bridesmaids arrived and said, "Lord, lord, open up for us!'

On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?"

But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest told him, "I command you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!"

saying, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you?"

All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and our children!"

"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

He told him, "My name is Legion, because there are many of us." He kept pleading with Jesus not to send them out of that region.

So the demons begged him, "Send us among the pigs, so that we can go into them!"

This is the builder, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon, isn't it? His sisters are here with us, aren't they?" And they were offended by him.

The spirit has often thrown him into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us!"

John told Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn't a follower like us."

Whoever is not against us is for us.

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus and told him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

They asked him, "Let us sit in your glory, one on your right and one on your left."

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, he should marry the widow and have children for his brother.

"Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign when these things will be put into effect?"

On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?"

Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished and ready. Get everything ready for us there."

They kept saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"

Since many people have attempted to write an orderly account of the events that have transpired among us,

just as they were passed down to us by those who had been eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning,

He has raised up a mighty Savior for us from the family of his servant David,

that he would save us from our enemies and from the grip of all who hate us.

He granted us deliverance from our enemies' grip so that we could serve him without fear

Because of the tender mercy of our God, his light from on high has visited us,

When the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds told one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see what has taken place that the Lord has told us about."

When Jesus' parents saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!"

"Oh, no! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

because he loves our people and built our synagogue for us."

Fear gripped everyone, and they began to praise God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said, and "God has helped his people."

When the men had come to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, "Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?'"

John said, "Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn't a follower like us."

When his disciples James and John observed this rejection, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"

The 70 disciples came back and joyously reported, "Lord, even the demons are submitting to us in your name!"

Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. After he had finished, one of his disciples told him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

Keep giving us every day our daily bread,

and forgive us our sins, as we forgive everyone who sins against us. And never bring us into temptation.'"

Suppose he answers from inside, "Stop bothering me! The door is already locked, and my children are here with us in the bedroom. I can't get up and give you anything!'

Then one of the experts in the Law told him, "Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us, too."

Peter asked, "Lord, are you telling this parable just for us or for everyone?"

After the homeowner gets up and closes the door, you can stand outside, knock on the door, and say again and again, "Lord, open the door for us!' But he will answer you, "I don't know where you come from.'

Besides all this, a wide chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross from this side to you cannot do so, nor can they cross from your side to us.'

Then the apostles told the Lord, "Give us more faith!"

and shouted, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation to follow him and to announce, "We don't want this man to rule over us!'

and asked him, "Tell us: By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"

But if we say, "From humans,' all the people will stone us to death, because they are convinced that John was a prophet."

Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

and asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, the man should marry the widow and have children for his brother.

So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover meal."

They asked him, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"

Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished. Get things ready for us there."

They said, "If you are the Messiah, tell us."

They began to accuse him, "We found this man corrupting our nation, forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that he is the Messiah, a king."

Neither does Herod, because he sent him back to us! Indeed, this man has done nothing to deserve death.

But they all shouted out together, "Away with this man! Release Barabbas for us!"

Then people will begin to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!', and to the hills, "Cover us up!'

Now one of the criminals hanging there kept insulting him, "You are the Messiah, aren't you? Save yourself"and us!"

Even some of our women have startled us by what they told us. They were at the tomb early this morning

and didn't find his body there, so they came back and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who were saying that he was alive.

Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. However, they didn't see him."

But they strongly urged him, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the daylight is nearly gone." So he went in to stay with them.

Then they asked each other, "Our hearts kept burning within us as he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn't they?"

The Word became flesh and lived among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father's unique Son, who is full of grace and truth.

"Who are you?" they asked him. "We must give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

"How does that concern us, dear lady?" Jesus asked her. "My time hasn't come yet."

Then the Jewish leaders asked him, "What sign can you show us as authority for doing these things?"

You're not greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it, along with his sons and his flocks, are you?"

Then they told him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time."

Then the Jewish leaders debated angrily with each other, asking, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women to death. What do you say?"

They asked him, "You were born a sinner and you are trying to instruct us?" And they threw him out.

So the Jewish leaders surrounded him and quizzed him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you're the Messiah, tell us so plainly."

Philip told him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will satisfy us."

"Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" Jesus asked him. "The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, "Show us the Father'?
